Significant drop in performance is observed for the popular homolog-search technique BLAST (in Red) and ab initio predictor codonW (in Blue). The receiver operating curves are shown for the best performed BLAST search in NR database for sORFs (excluding 50% or more homologous sequences) and for ORFs with 100–150 codons (excluding 70% or more homologous sequence) along with the performance of codonW for sORFs and ORFs with 100–150 codons, respectively.
